1 oz. for 60 feet drill; 400 plants.

To grow plants from seed, sowin April or May, in drills about
one inch deep, in rows a foot apart. Keep the soil mellow and
free from weeds. During the Summer “thin out,’’ ana the follow-
ing Spring the plants may be set out in beds, 6x6 feet wide, witha
path two feet wide on each side ; set the plants about a foot apart
each way, with the plants four inches below the surface. The
deeper the soiland the more manure used, the greater the crop.
Annually after the first cutting, the bed should be given a liberal
top dressing of manure, ashes and salt, which should be well culti-
vated into the soil. As soon as the tops turn yellow inthe Fall ~
they should be cut and removed from the beds, and just before
Winter cover the beds with four inches of coarse strawy manure
ot leaves, which should be removed in the Spring.

Colossal.—The standard variety. The shoots are of the
W . largest-size; very productive and of the best quality. 5ca

“The Palmetto.—This variety is not only much earlier,
but is also a better yielder, and is more even than the Old
Favorite. The Palmetto has now been planted in all parts of
the country, and the reports we hear indicate that it is equally
well adapted for all sections, North and South. Package, 5c. ;

middle of April owing to the late frost, but may be
planted thereafter as desired, until the middle of
August.

Select high, rich soil, make drills two feet apart,
drop’ beans along the rows and cover with earth.

* Early Yellow Long Six Weeks.—
In growth and maturity is very similar to the
Mohawk and is a very popular variety in the
South, pods long and fiat, very productive and
ripens about the same time. Pint 15c. Quart
20¢ Peck $1.00. Bu. $4.00.

/ Early Round-Pod Red Valeutine.--

the early markets, because its growth is so
rapid, and because it stands shipment per-
fectly. Canners use them for their packing
because they arestringless and alwaystender,
besides having round pods. It is a heavy
cropper, and ready to pick in about forty days.
Pint 10c. Quart 20c. Peck $1.00. Bu.$4.00.

Stringless Green Pod.—This new
bean produces a vine similar to Red Valen-
tine, but develops pods to edible condition —
two or three days earlier than Valentine, that
is to say in thirty to thirty-one days from
germination, which extraordinary maturity
for table at once advances the Stringless
Green Pod to the first rank among table
beans. The pods are green, not quite so Zs
round as Valentine and less curved. The ODT ese
pods Are stringless—absolutely so—this quality at once placing the variety at the top of the list among table
bearis, While the early maturity is of great merit, this stringless quality is of particular value, the pods
brgaking as short and free as pipe stems. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1.25. Bu. $5.00.
¥Y Refugee, or 1,000 to 1.—The standard late pickling variety ; matures two weeks later than the
extra early kinds. Very valuable for pickling. Pint 10c. Qt. 20c. Peck$1.10. Bu. $4.00.

oF for winter use. It is large, meaty and meets the requirements of the market, the table and shipper.
Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1.25. Bu. $4.50,

Dwarf Wax or Yellow Pod Varieties.

* Davis Kidney Wax.—A new variety introduced 1897 season. It
is adapted alike for the canner, market gardener, shipper or amateur.
The dry bean is large, kidney shaped and white in color, making it one of
the best for cooking in the dry state. The pods are long, mealy, string-
less, and of a beautiful yellow color. It stands shipping better than any
others and is one of the best of the wax podded varieties. Pint 15c.
Quart 25c. Peck $1.50. Bushel $6.00.
warf German V.’ax.—One of the finest of Snap-shorts, and the
dest of the Wax varieties ; pods transparent, waxy yellow, and snap

like pipe-stems ; boil as rich as butter, and, when highly seasoned, are .

; they are thick and very tender, entirely stringless, and fully as
as the Valentine; one of the best market varieties. The bean,
whén ripe, isblack. Pint 15c. Quart25c. Peck $1.50. Bushel $6.00.
mproved Golden Wax.—(Rust-proof.)—This variety, the pods of
hich are of a dark, rich, golden-yellow color, is rapidly surpassing the
famous Golden Wax, which has been the most popular and most desir-
able of all Wax varieties. It is a vast improvement not only in the size
of its pods and productiveness, but it is not liable to rust, even in the
most unfavorable weather. Seasons that have almost entirely destroyed
the crop of Golden Wax by rust the Improved variety stood without a

luscio

blemish to its pods. Pint 1l5c. Quart25c. Peck $1.50. Bushel $6.00, |;

BEANS—Pole or Running.

They/succeed best in sandy loam, which should be liberally enriched
with Westouptly rotted manure in the hills, which are formed according
| to the variety, from three to four feet apart.

without shell ; equally good in winter, if soaked 6 to 10 hours before
@ooking. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1.50. Bushel $6.00.
* hing of the Garden.—Large bean and pod ; very heavy cropper.

»Ford’s Mammoth Podded Pole Lima Bean.

This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ selection by the
late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market gardeners around Phila-
delphia. The pods grow toan average length of eight inches, are pro-
duced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per pod, of most
excellent quality, for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigor-
ously, setting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue in
bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mammoth Podded is without exception
thé largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all Lima Beans.

BEET S.—rrotre Rube, Ger.)

CuLTUuRE.—Seeds should be sown thinly in drills one-half to one
inch in depth. Make the first sowing when the trees are starting out
in leaf and continue with additional plantings every three or four weeks
until August lst, so that a constant supply of fresh, tender roots may be
had throughout the season. Owing to the spongy character of beet
seed, the soil covering the seed should be packed firmly, either with
the foot or roller, to insure proper germination. When the young
plants are two or three inches in height they should be thinned to stand

four to six inches apart in the

when cooked like spinach, or may be transplanted to other rews for an

additional supply.

Seed may also be sown early in a hot-bed and transplanted to
the garden when the season is warm enough.

While we exercise the greatest care in selection of our crops for
seed, the color of the flesh in the early sorts will vary considerably

rows. Those pulled out are excellent

with different soils and seasons. A “packet” contains about five ECLIPSE BEET.

CABBAGE ei

French—Choux Poenmes, German—Kopf Kohl.

Cabbage requires deep, rich, mellow soil, high manuring and
‘good culture to obtain fine, solid heads. For early use sow seeds
of the early kinds in the hot-bed or in a box in the house the last
of January or early in February, and transplant in the open ground
in April, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the row ; or sowa
bed of seed outside as soon as the soilcan be worked. Transplant
in about 4 weeks. For second early cabbage, sow in April and
transplant in May. For late cabbage, sow in May, and transplant
in July in rows 3 feet apartand 2 feetintherow. Intransplanting
it isimportant that plants be set down to the first leaf, so that the
stem may not be injured in case of frost. Be careful not to cover
the heart of the plant. Hoe every week and stir the earth deep.
As they advance in growth draw a little earth to the plants until
they begin to head. To preventsplitting or bursting go frequently
over the ground and start every cabbage that appears about to ma-
ture, by pushing them over sideways, which breaks some of the
roots and checks its growth. To prevent attacks of Cabbage Fly
on small plants, dust thoroughly with plaster, air-slacked lime or
wood ashes. For Cabbage Worm try Slug Shot; (see Insect De-
stroyetrs jh this Catalogue.) One ounce of seed produces about

ants. Four ounces will grow enough plants to set an acre. EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIEED.

Early Jersey Wakefield, Selected Stock.—Many market gardeners consider this the very best
early cabbage in cultivation. Certainly deserving of its great popularity. Grown extensively for market and
shipping. Its merits are many, among which are: large heads for_an early sort, small outside foliage, and
uniformity of crop. Pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. The sort mostly used for win-

tering over in cold frames. The seed we offer is first-class ; sure to give satisfaction. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 25c.

YALL- HEAD EARLY.

(‘True.)—A thoroughbred sort, on account of its remarkably uniform size and shape, and reliability for
heading. Deep, fiat heads, solid and uniform in color, shape and size. The main feature of a good cabbage
is tenderness, and, in this respect, it is unsurpassed. For winter sow in July, and the plants set out about
the middle of August will bring heads, large and solid, sure to winter well. By reason of its compactness,
and the absence of loose leaves, fully 1,000 more heads can be obtained from an acre than of most other
good sized varieties. Pkt. 5c. Oz.25c. 1% lb. 70c. Lb. $2.50.

Burpee’s Original
Surehead Cabbage.--Pro-
duces large, round, flattened
heads of the Flat Dutch type
and is remarkable for its cer-
tainty to head. It is all head
and sure to head, even under
unfavorable conditions. The
heads are remarkably uni-
form, very hard, firm and fine
in texture, and ordinarily
weigh from 10 to i5 pounds
each. It is very sweet flavored:
has but few loose leaves,
keeps well, is good for ship-
ping, and is just the variety

gardeners, farmers and all
lovers of good cabbage. Pkt.

planting, which should be aboutin July. Make the
soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should
be dug in deep; a moist, low, rich bottom land or
well-drained muck soil is preferable. Set the
plants eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch,
draw earth around the plants from time to time,
fore care not to cover the tops of the center shoots.

1 oz. to 200 ft. of drill. 3 lbs. to an

CuLTuRE.—June or July select a bed
of good soil, drill fifteen inches apart,
sow seed and cover lightly. The plants
should not stand closer than twelve
inches. Keep the earth to the stems,
destroy weeds and hoe liberally.

To blanch the plants and destroy bit-
terness, when the leaves attain suffi-
cient length, tie them closely at the top,
while perfectly dry, for the purpose of
excluding light and moisture, or cover
withflower-pots. After fourteen days
they will be ready for use.

Cutture.—For the growth of cucumbers hills are
raised, standing five feet apart. Quite rich, sandy
soil is the best. If necessary enrich the hills with
a mixture of sandy soil and strong rotten manure.
For early use, plant in May ; for pickling, plant in
June or July. Eight or ten seeds should be allowed
to each hill, as the young plants are often destroyed
by bugs.

Soon as the plants attain vigor, thin them, leav-

PEAS.

On account of the very short crop in some
varieties of Peas, prices are subject
to change without notice.

Peas mature early in a light, rich soil. For a
general crop, a rich, deep loam, or inclining to clay,
would be best. They thrive better if the ground has
been manured for a previous crop, but ifthe ground is
poor and requires manuring, use well rotted manure,
and for the dwarf varieties you can hardly make the
soil too rich. When grown for a market crop they
are seldom staked or brushed, but are sown in single
rows | inch apart and 3 to 5 inches deep, the depth
depending on the time of sowing, nature of soil, as well
as variety. Rows should be from 2% to 3% feet apart,
according to variety, soiland manner of culture desired.
When grown in gardens it is best tosow in double rows,
6 to 8 inches apart, the tall ones requiring brush,
which is stuck in betweentherows. Commencesowing |
early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in
the Spring, and continue, for a succession, every two
weeks up to June, discontinuing until the middle of
July, when a good crop can usually be secured by
sowing the extra early and early sorts. It is best to
late planting on sandy soil, as there is some danger of
mildew at this season when planted on heavy land.
They should be kept clean with the cultivator or hoe,
and earthed up twice during growth. Wrinkled varie-
ties are not as hardy as the smooth hard sorts, and if
planted early should have dry soil and not planted deep,
or they are liable to rot in the ground; they are, how-
ever, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. One
quart sows SO feet of drill; two or three bushels
to the acre.

CULTURE.—Select light sandy soil; spade deeply

in February or March. For main crop, sow at
intervals from early spring until last of September,
in deep, rich soil. Broadcast sowing is allowable,
but drilling is more professional; however, radishes
do well by either method. Thin when they crowd,
or the crop will be imperfect. They may be drawn

For very early fruit the seed should be sown ina hot-bed
about the first week in March in drills 5 inches apart and
half inch deep. Later sowings may be made until the last
of April. Sufficient plants for a small garden may be
started by sowing a few seed in a shallow box or flower
pot and placing in a window in the house. When the
plants are 3 or 4 inches high they should be set out 4 or
5 inches apart in another hot-bed or cold frame, or re- |
moved into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot.

Expose to the air as much as possible to harden. Water AY Zi
freely at time of transplanting, and shelter from the sun a yy
few days until the plants are established. Cultivate tho- Y/ Y
roughly as long as vines will permit, but the last two or yy
three workings should be very shallow (surface cultivation) Yj \
or the crop may be badly injured, especially if the cultiva- fj

tor is run too near the plants. Tomatoes will admit of
training to stakes or ttellises, and the fruit is very much
improved, not only in appearance but in quality. This
mode ot cultivation is quite common among gardeners who
grow for early market. The usual method is to set one
strong plant to a stake 5 to 7 feet high, tying the plants
up with wool or other strong, softtwine, pruning out quite
treely as vines advance in growth. By this method plants
may be set much closerthan in the ordinary way. For fine,
large specimens of high color and attractive appearance
generally, grow the clusters of the fruit in paper sacks, as
is commonly practiced by grape growers. Thesacksshould
be put on when the tomatoes are about three-fourths grown,

We give special attention to the quality of all our Farm Seeds, and send out only recleaned stock. It is our aim to send
out absolutely pure stock, true to name. For green manures, we recommend sowing thickly, Scarlet Clover, Sugar Cane,
Tares, Field Peas, Rye and Oats, and plowing under when six to eight inches high.

Owing to market fluctuation, impossible to quote prices. When in need, state quantity, and we will be
pleased to send samples and quote lowest market Prices.

Kentucky Blue Grass.—Perennial. Height,
10 to 15 inches. This valuable grass is suited
to a variety of soils, from an average dry one to
moist medows, and as a pasture grass is indispen-
sable. It is very productive, unusually early, and
presents a beautiful green appearance in early
spring, while other grasses are yet dormant. It
makes a splendid lawn grass, forming a thick turf,
and being of very even growth, producing only one
flowering stem a year, while many other grasses
continue to shoot up flower stalks throughout the
season, Kentucky Blue grass also makes hay of
excellent quality, but the yield for this purpose is
not equal to some other grasses. Sow (if alone)
40 pounds per acre ; weight per bushel, 14 lbs.

Orchard Grass.—Perennial. Height, 3 feet.
It blossoms about the same time as Red Clover,
making it, on that account, a desirable mixture
with that plant. It is exceedingly palatable to stock
of all kinds, and its power of enduring the cropping
of cattle commend it as one of the very best pasture
grasses. Sow 35 pounds to the acre; weight per
bushel, 14 lbs.

Red Top, or Herd’s Grass. — Perennial.
Height, 1 to 2 feet. Valuable either for lawn mix-
tures, mixing in hay, or permanent pasture grasses;
is common throughout the country; succeeds
almost everywhere, but reaches its highest stage
of perfection in a moist, rich soil, in which it attains
a height of 2 to 2}4 feet. Sow (if alone) 45 pounds
per acre; weight per bushel, 14 lbs.

Fancy Pure Seed.—Weight about 32 lbs. per
bushel. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre.

Red Clover Medium.—tThe common variety,
used with other grasses for either pasture or
meadow.

Red Clover—Mammoth, or Pea Vine.—
Grows 5 or 6 feet high, with large, coarse stalks,
and is largely used for plowing under for manure,

Crimson, or Scarlet Clover.—tThis is a
variety in common use in the South for feeding
green. The yield in fodder is immense, and after
cutting, it at once commences to grow again, and
continues until severe, cold, freezing weather. In
warm climates, four or five cuttings are made dur-
ing the season. It grows about 1 foot high, blos-
soms long, pointed, and of a very deep red or car-
mine color. Makes good hay.

MILLET.

Golden, or German.—This is a valuable for-
age plant,and yields very heavy crops ; grows from
2 to 4 feet high, heads single and similar to Hun-
garian, though large and with bright yellow oval

seeds.
BUGKWHEAT.

Japanese.—tThe straw is heavier, it branches
more, and does not need to be sown as thickly as
the other kinds.

Silver Hull.—A heavy yielder; the berry is of
a light silvery-gray color.

Timothy.—A well-known grass, and on some
soils it will produce a larger crop than any other
variety. We carry a large stock of this seed, which
is graded as ‘Prime,’ “ Strictly Prime,” and
“Choice.” |

AliskKe, or Hybrid Clover.—Even clover-
sick lands will produce a good crop of this; peren-
nial and very hardy. It is very valuable both for
pasturing and soiling ; very productive, sweet and
fragrant. The flowers are a distinct light pink, and
much liked by bees. Sow in spring or fall; 6 lbs.
to an acre.

Alfalfa, or Lucerne.—One of the best varie-
ties, succeeding in almost every situation. Will
bear cutting three or four times during the season.
For bringing up poor land it is the best of the
clovers, as it not only produces large masses of
foliage, but forces its roots down fully three feet
into the earth. Sow in the spring to secure a good
stand before winter. If to be used for pasturage or
curing, sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.

SOUTHERN COW PEAS.
The Great Land Renovator.

Their value as a fertilizing crop exceeds that of clover,
for in addition to being a larger Nitrogen gatherer than
clover, they draw from the subsoil to the surface large
amouuts of both Potash and Phosphoric acid, thus putting
the soil in most excellent condition for following crops.

Sow 1% to 134 bushels per acre, on land thoroughly pul-
verized,and disk or plow with a cultivator or double shovel
plow. If wanted for hay, cut when peas are forming, cure
as clover. If peas are for fertilizer,sow same quantity as
for hay, turn uuder when peas are in bloom.

SORGHUM, OR SUGAR CANE.

Plant in drills three-quarters to one bushel; broadcast,
1 to 1% bushels to the acre. a
Sorghum is being used extensively asa general food for
cattle, horses and mules; it is a sure crop, being a great
drought resister and an immense yielder, producing many
tons of most nutritious green fodder to the acre. Specially
fine for food for milch cows when pasture is short.
Early Orange Cane.—A strong grower;
much more juicy than any other variety. The stalk
is heavier, and a little later than the Amber.
Early Amber Cane.—This popular and well-
known variety is the earliest, and makes the finest

quality of both sugar and syrup.
FIELD GORN. Feld Korn.

Kaffir Corn.—Produces two to four heads from

a single stalk. Stands drought wonderfully, and
yields paying crops of grain or forage, even in dry
seasons when corn has utterly failed. The whole
stalkj as well as blades makes excellent fodder,
and/all stock eat it greedily. Sow in rows three feet
apart, 5 lbs. per acre; broadcast, 15 lbs. per acre.
Golden Beauty.—A large, broad grained yel-
low corn, with ears of perfect shape and very small
‘cob. The richness of color and quality of the grain
makes it a very superior variety. Ear well filled
and very productive. Qt. 10c. Pk. 50c. Bu. $1.25.
| / Hickory King.—A large, broad grained white
corn, and undoubtedly the smallest cob of any white
corn ever produced. Qt. 10c. Pk. 50c. Bu. $1.25.

K The Myers ’
gp /mperial Brass Spray Pump.

This Spray Pump is constructed entirely of brass, a material that
is not affected by the poisonous arsenites used in different formulas
for spraying fruit trees, vines and shrubbery. It is so arranged that
the labor of pumping is all done on the downward stroke of the piston
and nothing on the up. The effect of this operation while pumping is
to hold the pump down. The foot rest steadies the pump, holding it in
the proper position. .

For spraying it is so arranged as to discharge a fine jet in the
bottom of bucket to keep the solution thoroughly mixed and agitated,
a feature peculiar to this pump only, and a very necessary feature to
a spray pump. ,

poisons or fertilizers and white washing poultry roosts and out
houses this outfit is all that is required and will do same work as
other makes of sprayers costing $5.00 to $6.00.

The great merit of this Insecticide lies in its
non-poisonous properties. No danger need be
apprehended by the person applying it, nor will it
injure animals, should they eat it—unless in large
quantities. It does not render injurious the vege-
tables or fruits to which it is applied, and yet it is
probably the best Insect Destroyer that has ever
been offered. It is particularly useful for the pre-
vention and destruction of Potato Bugs and all
Worms and Insects that infest our gardens.

GAPITAL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED.

Our mixture of Grass Seeds for Lawns, Parks, Tennis
and Cricket grounds is composed of the finest varieties of
grasses, each of which has its season of beauty, and the
result of this blending is the producing of a sod thatis not
only always evergreen and velvety in appearance, but of
the color and beauty ofthe emerald.

Seeding is preferable to sodding, because it is cheaper,
and will soon cover the earth with a luxuriant growth of
thrifty grass and if fertilized spring and fall will last in-
definitely.

Frequent mowing prevents natural seeding, which grasses
annually supply in abundance to restore and thicken sod.

Hence, when the grass is injured by tramping or thinned
by other cause, the best and most natural method to restore
its beauty is to sow seed plentifully. Use two pounds of
seed on a space 20x 40, or 800 square feet.

To prepare the ground for seeding Lawn grass, it should
be plowed deeply, cross plowed, and the soil finely pulver-
ized and enriched. Use fertilizer and avoid the danger of
an importation of seeds, the growth of sorrel, weeds, etc.,
liable to be in barnyard manure.

These seeds should be covered very slightly and a roller
tun over the ground after sowing. Pt. tcc. Qt. 20c. Lb.

LAWN FERTILIZER.

Old and New Lawns Require Stimulating after the long drag through winter, or in the fall after the season of cutting and the heat
of symmer. For this purpose our high grade bone meal is the best adapted to the wants of the lawn. It should be sown broadcast, from
the middle of February to first of May for spring and from September to November in the fall. In preparing a new lawn use a liberal
quantity ani rake it in thoroughly before sowing the seed. 16 lbs. enough for 250 squarefeet. 10 lbs. 30c. 100 lbs. $2.50.

feed never feeds faster than the operator can cut easily. The cutting
device is the latest pattern and is guaranteed to do the work success-

The only Disc Harrow made having a spring pressure device, which alone places it far in advance of

The Imperial ‘‘U” Bar Lever Spike Tooth Harrow is made in a strictly first-class manner throughout.
In construction, this Harrow has many advantages over those of other manufacturers. The frame of the
Harrow is channel steel, of good weight and strength. The ‘‘U” Bars pass through the main frame of
the Harrow, and are held in position by a malleable clamp. This construction gives great strength to the
Harrow and at the same time allows flexibility. ach section is fitted with four steel runners, one attached
to each corner, for transportation. These runners, when the Harrow is at work, are on top of the frame and
do not obstruct. By throwing the lever forward the runners are thrown down in a position which carrries
the entire Harrow off the ground.

casions. The Lyons Improved Mill is, we think, the only
Fanning Mill that is warranted in all respects as repre-
sented. They will clean from 60 to 100 bushels per

Cultivator and Plow.

Pmcemcompletcrer es. same. . wae cece eeu. $10.00
Pricemastar Gull OMliyccetis <<. ¢ ie scces «se $.00

This admirable tool combines in a single convenient implement a capital
hill-dropping seeder, a perfect drill seeder, a single wheel hoe, a cultivator,
and aplow. It holds two quarts and as a seeder
is like the No. 5, sowing in continuous rows, or
dropping in hills at five different distances. It is
thrown out of gear by simply raising the handles.
The index is accurate, simple and easily set. The
drill is detached and the tool frame substituted by
removing but one bolt. It then becomes a single
wheel hoe, garden plow or cultivator. It is useful
almost every day of the season, at every stage of

2 — garden work. With this one implement the small
farmer can do ean all the work in his small crops.
A set of three rakes supplied when specially ordered. Price.................... $1.00

No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe,
Cultivator and Plow.

This tool is identical with No. 11 Wheel Hoe, except @j==
that it has fewer attachments, and is sold at correspond-
ingly less price. The tools shown and sold with No. 12
are what gardeners use most, and the others can be
added when wanted.

The latest and best single wheel hoe has a very
full set of tools, several of them being of new design,
such as have been found to work in the very best
manner. It has 11-inch wheel with broad face; is
very light, strong and easy running. It has adjust-
able handles and quick change frame. The tools
are a well-shaped plow for marking out, plowing,
covering, and late cultivation; a pair of 6-inch
: shield hoes and three all steel patent cultivator

— : ; teeth; also a set of two rakes, just the thing for
preparing ground for the seed drill. A sractisal leaf-guard holds up the plants, while thorough work is
being done underneath; the frame changes in height, and the wheel may be attached to the other side of the
frame, when both sides of the row may be howed at one passage.

The Fire-Fly Garden Plow.

This tool is most useful in small gardens, opening furrows for manure
or seeds, and covering them quickly. Chicken raisers will find it very
useful in plowing up the scratch yards. The moldboard is of pee
and polished steel; the depth is quickly changed.

Farmers’ No. 1 Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow.—Price, $3.50.

This new and attractive implement is es-
pecially designed for the Farmer’s Garden Work,
though it offers to everyone with either field or
garden, a cheap and effective tool for all hand
wheel hoe operations.

The wheel is high and is made with stiff
steel rim and spokes, and a combination steel
and malleable iron hub. The wheel arms are
steel and the frame of the tool is attached ad-

justably to the wheel arms, so that the height of
the handles may be readily changed to suit man or Sheu The standard is slotted to make regulation of
depth easy and by means of an adjustable malleable filling piece, the same standard is made to carry per-
fectly all the steels that come with the machine.

LION FEED CUTTER NO. 3.

This pattern of Feed Cutter has been in the market several years, and has proved durable and an excel-
jent machine in every respect. Being strong and compactly made, it is well adapted for domestic trade.

ll cc - \

The Belle City Fodder and Ensilage Cutter is acknowledged to be the King of Cutters,
because its points of merit over all others are many. The first and a very important fact is, that this ma-
chine requires one-third less power than any other, doing one-third more work in the same time. Second is
the Safety Attachment, making all danger to the operator impossible. The Safety Attachment is a lever by
which the operator can stop the feed rolls as quick as he can put his hand on same, also reverse the feed by
this lever and set the feed rolls revolving backwards, cleaning the mouth of the cutter, should it become
clogged, without using his hand in the operation. It is a first-class cutter.
